One thought on “Lucasfilm, ILM nabs a few pre-Oscar awards”

Not sure if I like that Red Tails award. The film was meh at best and giving it an award for “Outstanding Motion Picture” just doesn’t seem right. If they wanted to honor the fact that Lucas(film) dared to hand over a multi million dollar picture to a black guy telling a black story, it might have been better to create a different award category or hand out a special award or something. The idea of politicizing “normal” categories for something that has little to nothing to do with actual quality just doesn’t seem right to me.
And BTW: I’m not saying that it was wrong to recognize Red Tails as the first real black blockbuster. But if that’s what you want to do, do it right. Red Tails was an important milestone but it was anything but outstanding. ;-)
